Case Study:

A Laid-Back Summer Pool Party for Colleagues & Families

Location: Surrey
Guests: 40–50 adults and children
Services provided: Event support, children’s entertainment, lifeguard, clean-up crew
Event style: Informal, family-friendly, relaxed

The Brief: Relaxed, Family-Friendly, and Totally Personal

Our client came to us with a clear vision:
A relaxed summer get-together for colleagues and their families, hosted at home, with a few standout touches to make the day special - without the stress.

They’d already booked a brilliant pizza truck (Dough & Deer) and stocked the drinks fridge themselves, complete with a charming home bar setup we couldn’t get enough of. Floristry was their personal passion, and they took care of every bouquet and arrangement - with such a professional finish, we’d happily recommend her ourselves!

All they needed was help filling in the gaps - and that’s where our 'pick and mix' event support came in.

What We Added

🌟 Children’s entertainer

A multi-age performer who kept little ones (and not-so-little ones) happy and engaged all afternoon.

🌊 Trained lifeguard

With a pool in use, our qualified lifeguard ensured parents could relax knowing their children were in safe hands.

🙌 Stealth clean-up crew

No one wants to tidy up after a long afternoon of pizza and prosecco. Our team quietly cleared everything away once the party was over, leaving nothing but good memories.

The Result: A Seamless, Stress-Free Celebration

The event ran smoothly from start to finish. With a mix of DIY creativity and professional support, our client was able to stay fully present and enjoy the day with her guests. From the laughter by the pool to the joyful chaos of the children’s games, it was a celebration that felt personal, relaxed, and completely effortless.
